Favourite CFL team? 
Calgary Stampeders
Why are they your favourite team?
 I moved to Calgary in 1990 & they became our adopted team. Since then, I have become involved coaching pee wee, bantam, midget & high school school football. I have had the fortune to coach with 2 former Stampeders & they taught me a lot about the game. Not only on the practice & game field but behind the scenes as well.
Two years ago, I was lucky enough to be able to spend the entire day with the Stampeders during training camp & sit in on some defensive meetings, review video, sit in on coaches meetings, meet Wally Buono & get to know Jim Daley extremely well. Daley is enormously passionate about the CFL & coaching at the pro level & is so much fun to be around.
Since then, I also got to know Jim Barker extremely well. About a week or so before he was fired he spent an entire hour with my son reviewing quarterback skills & drills. He was just that kind of guy.
So, how can the Stamps NOT be my team???
